These are windows from the Heidelberg Castle (Renaissance), Gersfeld, Schwetzingen and Mannheim palace (all three Baroque buildings).
Heidelberg, Mannheim and Schwetzingen are in close proximity of each other – one can see that sandstone is a prevalent building material in the area. Gersfeld is not that far away, about the same distance from Frankfurt to the north-east as the others are south.

In the Fog
Strange, to wander in the fog.
Each bush and stone stands alone,
No tree sees the next one,
Each is alone.
Hermann Hesse
These are the first lines of one of the most well known poems in German:
Im Nebel
Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
Kein Baum sieht den anderen,
Jeder ist allein.
But since I started this, at least partly, I give you my very own poem limerick:
There once was a lady who liked to blog,
Who was out taking photos, stumbling through fog.
She kept shouting crossly: “Who had this idiotic idea?”
And even more loudly: “What the fog am I doing here?”
“I’d rather be home with my sweetheart and snog.”

PS: The title of my post is an English/German wordplay. German “Mist” literally means manure in English but it is a widely used expletive when other words seem too strong.

Four years ago we were in the UK for the Rugby World Cup. After the match between South Africa vs Scotland we were making our way from Newcastle to Edinburgh and stopping for a look see on Holy Island. Now I am sitting at my desk and my husband is watching the Ireland vs Scotland game on the other pc – Japan is just a little too far (and a little too expensive).

For One Word Sunday: shelter.
No, it’s not a mistake, it’s not the same post as last week’s Six Word Saturday. I just realised that I know more monsters.
This is a contribution to Six Word Saturday. More contributions (not necessarily limited to six words except for the title) can be found here.
